Omega Automatic 200m won't wind.

[Dwayne]

Can't wind with stem or by rotor. What might be broken?

would you like us to guess? Problem is we really need to see your watch or if we knew the exact model number may be it has a probably unique for that model number not that I'm aware of such a thing but model number be helpful. I don't suppose you went swimming with the watch and it's filled with rust that would be a reason. But until someone takes the back off and disassembles the watch everything will be a guess and that might not necessarily be a good guess.

In an Omega 564 there are 56 parts involved in the winding mechanism. 35-plus of them can contribute to a problem. Sticky old lubricants (very common), broken mainspring (common), rust (possible), broken jewels (not uncommon), long synthetic sweater fibers wrapped around a wheel (more common than you'd think), etc. As John said, without tearing the watch down there's no way to guess.

I have one Constellation waiting in line right now that's showing that behavior. I returned another Constellation earlier this week that would auto-wind but wouldn't stem-wind - it turned out that the crown wasn't pushed all the way in.
